Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to procure telecommunications services under the title "Future Integrated User Services (F-IUS) Fixed Voice and Video Secret (FVVS)." This procurement falls within the defence industry category and involves both Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) and Modified off the Shelf (MOTS) devices to deliver a Unified Communications (UC) solution. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with electronic submission and written methods being accepted. Key dates include the tender document availability period ending on 24th February 2025 and a contract period of 1440 days. The procurement method is selective (restricted), aiming to engage a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for the service delivery. The procurement process is managed from Corsham, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, particularly those capable of providing both standard and customised solutions. Companies with expertise in unified communications, managed services, and ITIL functions are well-suited to compete. The requirement for subcontracting allows smaller businesses to participate by providing components or services under the broader contract.

Interested businesses should ensure their registration on the eSourcing portal and prepare their submissions according to the detailed instructions provided.
